Question
  1. The main constituents in vinegar are water and ethanoic acid (CH3COOH). In order to determine the concentration of acid in homemade vinegar, a student titrated 25 cm3 of
    001 M NaOH against the vinegar. The equation for the reaction is:

                                    CH3COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq) ® CH3COONa(aq) + H2O(l)

 

The following titration results were obtained:
